Boiling water reactor stability analysis with RETRAN-03

Journal Article · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society
OSTI ID:75946
An MOC option has been developed to eliminate the numerical diffusion associated with the time domain analysis of small perturbations. This model has been implemented as an option in RETRAN-03 and evaluated for BWR stability applications by comparing RETRAN analyses results with data from a series of stability tests from the Vermont Yankee reactor. The results indicate that the MOC option can be used to evaluate BWR stability conditions.
